I try configure log4j.properties file for output to file.

og4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=hibernate.log

This file "hibernate.log" is created wherever on the disk (install directory my development software Eclipse), but I want create file for ex. within same directory like this log4j.properties is stored. I try some path modification, but unsuccessfully...

For example, to put the log in the directory /my/temp_dir with a name of mylog.txt, use this:

log4j.appender.fileAppender.File=/my/temp_dir/mylog.txt

even if you're running on a Windows machine, still use this style of slashes when specifying your path
